Subconscious mind spatter

I'm not really sure if it was a dream, or a thought i had just prior to drifting off to sleep. It seemed like one of those things lingering just on the edge of my subconscious. It was very simplistic really. I was living in a city with fantastically large skyscrapers. The thing was that the buildings had enormous height and were built with such heavy material that the foundation would sink a quarter of an inch or so every year. Something on a small enough scale that no one really became overly concerned about. The mentality all around the city was "if it gets worse, we'll deal with it". And so it went that every year another quarter inch was lost until an entire level of every building in the city was under ground. Instead of fixing this, entrances were built into the second floor. "Oh, these buildings are 50 stories high and sturdy, they'll be fine, if it gets any worse we'll do something more". And so it continued that the buildings sunk further and further underground, and it seemed to the city folk that it still wasn't worth fussing over. So it went on and on until one day when trying to enter a building I realized it had been completely submerged. Everyone just stood around shocked. We tried to dig at it with our bare hands and finally realized that the city had been lost and the conclusion was to just rebuild a new one on top. And that's it. It was wierd, a procrastination and apathy dream. If the sinking had been dealt with at the onset, the city could have been saved...but instead it sunk deeper and deeper without a care given to the consequences. And when the consequences manifested, the natural progression was to build on top...and forget the folly that created the precarious state to start. The buildings were even rebuilt with the same dimensions...foreshadowing the same outcome for future generations. It was very disturbing. I will try hard to avoid procrastination and apathy and help others avoid it too. the end.
